La compañera Fabiana
-Trailer-
Thirty-six years of internal armed conflict and 24 years since the signing of the peace accords in Guatemala. Women, and especially indigenous women, have mostly been portrayed as victims, as those disappeared and murdered, as the widows and as those who search for their loved ones missing in the war. Few women have been presented as active protagonists of the armed struggle. What happened to the women that took up arms? Who are they today? The women that participated in the resistance and continue to resist oblivion as well as the pain of remembering. Fabiana cannot represent all women fighters who survived the war, as they each have their own unique stories, but her testimony could serve as a new beginning for these women to start being named.

Treinta y seis años de conflicto armado interno y 24 desde que se firmó la paz en Guatemala. Las mujeres, particularmente las mujeres indígenas, han representado históricamente en colectivo a las víctimas, a las desaparecidas, a las asesinadas, a las viudas, a las que buscan, pero pocas veces han sido presentadas como protagonistas activas de lucha armada. ¿Qué fue de ellas? ¿quiénes son ahora? Ellas, que resistieron y siguen resistiendo al olvido y al dolor del recuerdo. No se pretende que Fabiana personifique a todas las mujeres que sobrevivieron en combate, porque cada una tiene su historia, pero sí puede ser un inicio para nombrarlas.
